which of course was a big disappointment to us all. Unfortunately we can’t
do anything about the weather.

Due to the constant rain we have had over the past 2 weeks and the course being closed for the major part of this time. The course was finally opened to the ladies Wednesday 21st who wanted to walk. THEN at the last minute after further inspection the course was open to carts as well; with strict instructions as to where carts could go, because the course was still very wet in lots of places, and mowers could not get on the fairways to mow. AND the same conditions will apply on Friday.

Womens Golf Casino Beef Roundup Open Day on Friday 19th May.
Andrew Daddo says “How Good is Golf “; and this has to be true, when we can bring a feeling of England to the competition with the weather producing a foggy; misty, hazy day for the best part of the morning, until around 12.30 to 1 p.m., then the rain came down a little heavier just as the girls were finishing their final hole of the competition.

There weather looked a little ominous on Wednesday 10th May and so the field went from 32 to 27. The weather maps also said there was a 30% chance of rain, so the players who came did go out and play for the Global Tyre & Mechanical Trophies. The 30% chance of rain became 100% at around the 10.30 a.m. mark, so there were players who pulled out at the last minute.

Wednesday 3th May, there was a field of 37 and the rain threatened again. We must thank the Rappville Ladies (Helen, Reinie & Joan) who sponsored the day. It was also our Monthly Medal Round, along with other monthly events and cumulative competitions held throughout the year.

There was a field of 31 and after a short stint on the course there were some sprinkles of rain. Some thought oooooo is it going to continue and get heavier, or is it going to go away.

Friday 21st April it started out to be another sunny Autumn day for the Womens Golf Casino Ladies, by about 1.00 pm the weather came over cloudy and a few short showers affected the last girls in the field.

for a single stableford in beautiful autumn conditions and a much
dryer golf course. Tim Meyer found the conditions to his liking and
returned 41pts to win from evergreen Aub Scofield 39pts, John Quirk

Wednesday 12th April was just a perfect Autumn Day and this was shown in the great field of 35 ladies who came to play in the Single Stroke Scrivener & Webb Pharmacy Trophy in conjunction with the Final Round of the Captains Trophy. The proof is in the results though, we are not sure how to play the game in fine weather with the course drying out quickly.

“How Good Is Golf” Wow another eventful day at the Casino Golf Club when 104 starters from all over the Northern Rivers have come to participate in the morning session of the Casino Vets Open Day Tournament. The weather has been turned on for them with a 28 degree sunny day. The course has just turned out a treat with the warmth and a gentle breeze to help dry it out after the continuous rain last week.

Monday 10th April, it was time for 9 Casino Teams to travel to Kyogle to play for the Kyogle vs Casino Shield Match , a 4BBB Matchplay competition, which is held each year at alternate golf courses. Kyogle was lucky this year with the deluge of rain that had fallen in the past couple of weeks. The flooding didn’t actually reach right into the lower level of the Club House thankfully.

Kristy and Peter Cowdrey came out today to present the great prizes to the winners of the Casino Smash Repairs event held on 8th April where there were 101 starters. The course is still damp, but playable, and there is more sun shining every day. The Medley players say it is just great to be outdoors. Winners of the main event 2BBB Stableford were Wayne McInnes (10) and Peter Heilbron (20) with 44 Points on a c/b from Runner Ups John Riggall ( 6 )

It was touch and go at the beginning of the day Wednesday 5th April whether we would play or whether we would spend the day at home due to the skies looking like it could rain. In the end though; because we love being outdoors a decision was made and 32 ladies came to play in the Oaten’s Retravision Trophy day, including 2 ladies from Lismore who have been hanging out for a game of golf for quite a few weeks now.

Wednesday 29/3. We were lucky to get a game in before the showers coming down the coast from Cyclone Debbie. The weather was dry and sunny, but we definitely need the mozzie spray. There was a field of 30, and the Overall Allan McKenna Mechanical Winner Anne Mead (22) with 35 Points, found the course was in good condition after the rain we have already received.

The course proved to be wet on Saturday 18th March after the heavens opened through Friday night. There was lots of discussion with Green Staff, the Pro and others; and finally it was decided the course was NOT unplayable so the 72 Hole Men’s Ongmac Championships FINAL round would be played. It was damp throughout the whole course; and there was some water in a couple of bunkers due to drainage problems. There will be concentrated efforts to fix these problems during the 2018 year.

the early morning overcast conditions which eventually led to some
persistent rain that effected the later groups but did not effect the
scoring. The overall winner was Laurie Bonner with 66net on c/b from
Ron Thorne 66.

Monday 13th March, the weather attempted to rain throughout the whole day, but this didn’t deter the majority of the 99 lady golfers from all over the Northern Rivers area coming to participate in the Women’s Golf Northern Rivers (WGNR) Vets Championship held at Casino. In the end there was a field of 90. WGNR President Robyne Trotter said the ladies really love to come to Casino, it is indicative of the numbers who participate in this event, and thanked Casino Ladies President Debbie Low and her committee for the great job of organizing the early morning tea and the wonderful afternoon tea her ladies provided.

Julie (also one of our weekend golfers) gave some information on the Richmond Dairies business. Richmond Dairies not only supplies their waste water to our dams for our fairways, they also donate a lot back to the community of Casino, and they are always affected by the problems that affect our dairy farmers.

It was an early start today with a Shotgun at 8.00 a.m. and towards the end it did get quite warm. The first mixed day had 22 Starters and it was nail biting till the very end for Terry and Julie Llewellyn sitting in the winners circle until the last group came in with the same score of 42 points and they were beaten on a countback. Malcolm and Helen Olive were the winners and Helen says it was only the birdie Malcolm had on the last hole that did it.

Wednesday 1st February is a 7.30 to 8.00 start Single Stableford for the ladies coming back to golf. Welcome back and I hope you have had a great Christmas break.
If you are the first groups out can you please take the NTP’s with you, AND if you are the last groups to hit off can you please take a bag with you and bring in the NTP’s.
The flags don’t get put out until after 7.00 a.m., so if you start before 7.00 a.m. you may be hitting to a green that doesn’t have a flag on it, and the hole placement may also change.
